I broke my back in three places during a race, as well as every bone in my right foot and collapsed my right lung so needless to say I don't ride anymore. It takes the fun out of it when you can't feel your legs. I think I have a picture of one of my race bikes in my gallery, I'll dig it up. But, now I've got another toy.





I've got some other pictures in my gallery, too.
I had you pegged for a 450 guy. Sweet bike though! I want a WR450F, but the wife would kill me if I got another. Seriously considered selling my 03 Roadstar in order to get a lift...to loaded, and way to much chrome to to list. I did put 18in apes on her, and did all of the wiring extension myself.

Sweet *** gallery! Your current truck was boring stock. What a difference the lift and all the other work has made!

Do you like your edge?

LOL.. Nope, I'm only using it for the gauges. I'm running a dyno tuned Xcal2 from VMP Tuning.

I've got a good question... why are there stands that lift the bike up off the ground to park it? Is it to avoid out-of-round tires when first riding?

.. as opposed to what? The little crappy triangles that they give you for free? Its kind of hard to work on a bike when it's leaning one way, it's hard to change a wheel or tire, or the chain, etc. I could go on. Not to mention that the stand in that photo is actually one of my crappy stands.

Well, I could see that...

But I notice the other day that some bikes actually raise the rear tire off the ground when you drop the kickstand. Or is that for working on it as well?

Real dirtbikes don't have kickstands.

Friends 05 polaris is in the shop and has been for 5.5 months, they cannot figure out whats wrong with it??.WTF 5.5 months and he has a monthy payment on it and a 50$ deductable. Each time they say its fixed he never even makes it to the trailer and it begins to stall and exhaust begins to glow red hot. Then it stalls and will not restart, customer service says take it some where else.WTF

Buy a honda, Polaris sucks

I just bought a 2004 polaris predator for 2500 dollars with approx 25 hours on it. It has nerf bars, aftermarket bumper, performance exhaust 9 i think white brothers) and has been rejetted. The guy tried selling it for ever for 3500 but jumped on the offer when he saw the cash. I think you need to lower your price signifigantly if you ever want to see that quad sell. Just my suggestions but atvs and dirtbikes arent the best investments out there.

Haha yeah I've found that out. I'm trying it on Ebay again right now for $3200 so hopefully it will sell this time. If not, I guess I'll lower the price even more and think of more crap to sell ha. But thanks for the advice and suggestions!

$850 isn't the going rate around here. I got a really good deal. My boss took it in on trade for a truck and wanted it out of the building. He gave the kid $850 for it so he offered it to me for the same price. It's not perfect, but for the money I can put new rubber on the front and replace the fenders.

As for the Trailclogger...errr...blazer....:o
